US: Capitalism and democracy. USSR: Communism and dictatorship.
Capitalism: Economy system, where the people are left alone by the government, they accomplish/fail by themselves. America uses: Welfare Capitalism, where the government gives assistance to failing/troubled businesses. Free market, no boundaries (pure c.). The America government does three things: Tax, Regulation, Rules.
Democracy: Government system, where it is made by the people and for the people; equality in everyone; everyone has same amount of power. America's type: Representative Democracy, bounded by the Constitution; the president has the power to execute laws by Congress after being checked by the Supreme Court. This type of democracy has a more filtered system, because it would be impossible with such a large society.
Dictatorship: Goverment system, where all the power is ruled by one person, usually with an iron fist and calls all the shots. Stalin's type: Totalitarianism (only one person/class/group rules). Stalin wanted Russia to be more industrilized, he planned famines on purpose, he established the Iron Curtain; he ruled with an iron fist.
Communism: Economy system, where the government has the power to intervene at any time, taking property, helping businesses, etc. (Businesses are affected by government). USSR uses: Stalinism (At the time), an interpretation of Marx's and Lenin's ideas.
